Rider Profile

Best For	This is a restricted, low-power version of the Transalp, well suited to newer riders or those on a licence that limits power output.
Purpose	Built for easy-going adventure-touring and commuting rather than outright speed, with enough versatility for light gravel roads and long highway stretches alike.
Rider Fit	The tall 21-inch front wheel and adventure-style seating suit riders of average to taller height who don't mind a reasonably tall, upright seat position.
Character	A friendly, unintimidating machine that rewards smooth, relaxed riding over aggressive throttle use, thanks to its heavily detuned V-twin power delivery.
Not Ideal For	Not suited to riders wanting strong acceleration, high top speed, or sharp sporty handling.
